3D Printing a Samus Metroid Helmet - Zortrax M300
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2024
- Zortrax sent us their M300 3D Printer and a pile of filament to create a project. Our family and cosplay counterparts, Jaimi and Rob, were crafting a Samus costume from the Metroid video games and wanted to 3D print the helmet. What a great way to try out the large build volume of the M300 and make an awesome cosplay helmet!

Hey, for easy accenting of the recessed area's look into gunpla panel lining. Same technique on a larger work piece. First Gloss coat your paint job. Then use black gloss enamel and thinner mix and let capillary action fill in the lines. Use thinner on a paper towel afterwords to clean up anything you goofed on. So fast and looks great.
That was cool QQQQQQQQQ
How much does that particular 3D printing model run?
Not sure if you guys reply to comments, but do you apply primer after wet sanding at 400 grit?
I just finished wet sanding and it's very smooth but I'm scared that the primer might ruin that
That looks incredible Brit!!! Great job!!
Make Brooklyn
"grey primer is like a magic wand for revealing all of my crimes." I love that. thanks for the video.
Haha, it's so true. :D
It's so exciting seeing such attention to detail and perfectionism while overcoming problems along the way in producing a one off piece of art !!
My wife is fan of Samus Aran! she have been telling me to make her a full armor Samus suit! with this now she won't let me even sleep!!! LOL! thanks guys! You are amazing as always... 😃
Uh, happy accident?
We're enablers!
same but i am huge samus fan and i want the same thing lmao
This has all the things i love: samus, art with 3d printer, procrastination.... yeah, gotta love it
FANTASTIC WORK. Really put in the extra time to make it perfect and it shows!
Wow, that helmet looks great, and I love how much build detail you included in this video!
That turned out absolutely amazing!
Hey thanks Jerry! =D
Hi
Right, I have to sub to you too Barnacles Nerdgasm! :)
Wow that is so sharp. Great job.
Loving your attention to detail with your finishing. I honestly don't see that enough. Love it!
It's awesome seeing how close knit the 3D printing community is. Hearing each person reference other youtubers and getting inspiration from each other is inspiring. Can't wait to get my own printer
this video is like a god send i have been torn between two cosplays to be my next make .... samus or the fallout4 t-51 power suit. i love watching your videos when working on projects, they keep me motivated.
Those both sound like awesome projects!
Brown spots are probably caused by the nozzle dragging and pickling up filament and burning. That would also cause a layer shift as well.
Good to know!
large PLA prints Do warp this is the chief cause of your issue even with good adhesion to the print surface. this caused what joe indicated. Part warps causng nozzle to touch previous layers. this causes the x/y axis motors to become overload and skip steps which cause the miss-aligned layers. It also caused your print to detach from the supports. I printed a deadspace healmet i modeled in tinkercad/meshmixer. and i had to break it down in several parts to avoid this issue.
Getting ready to start my own Varia Suit! Printing the entire thing on my CR-10, this was a huge help. As always your work is incredible!
As a big fan of the Metroid series, that helmet came out looking absolutely fantastic! Kudos and great job!
Whoa! Awesome job! And thanks for linking my file!!
Thank you for creating and sharing such an awesome helmet!
You did a great job with the model! :)
Talaaya Thanks! Your suits are amazing! I followed the build of your first one over on therpf :)
Jacob Morin what do you use to build your files?
i saw someone print a entire helmet with a holo sphere inside the helmet. a sphere doesnt require any infill because of the nature of the shape and so you can basically print a helmet with mostly a void inside and then supports around that. Saves you a bunch of time, filament, cleanup if you do it this way. While i havent personally tried this trick i saw someone do it with a black panther mask and it cut down their print time and material significantly.
That’s a really cool idea!
Oooh, interesting!
Was it Razem Art who made the Black Panther Mask??
This sound like a great idea!
Also, not making fun or anything but I totally imagined a holographic sphere when I first read this. Maybe a cosplay idea for Simply Nailogical
Really love that you put the tool list and links in description, its beyond helpful. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
WOW!!! I RARELY see someone take this much time and take so many steps to get the project done right. This was incredible
If you ever print anything else in HIPS try giving plastic model glues a try. From experience they are much stronger than super glue. They basically chemically fuse polystyrene parts together. Strongest bond I have ever seen in an adhesive.
We got some of that glue! The model glue worked great for gluing styrene to styrene. But when I tried styrene to the Z-HIPS, the glue never cured and the high impact polystyrene filament got all mushy. That was just one, quick test, though, before I switched to superglue.
Usually plastic models are made from ABS, so this plastic model glue really only works well on ABS, not really great for Styrene. I would also suggest being very light with the glue as it is meant to melt plastics together rather than stick them together.
@@TheLongHairedFellow for styrene you can use dichloromethane, which is a solvant, works really well,
This is so cool , even if I had a printer , I could not do it Great job!
Even if I had a printer I wouldn't know how to star.🤷♀️
That was so amazing!! I love this helmet... you are so talented and a true Maker, sometimes things don't come out as you planned but you just go with it. You are such a inspiration to me... Thanks and keep it up!
Amazing job as usual. So much stuff done to make that level of prop!!
Looks soooooo gooooood!
Thank you!
"Zortrax" sounds like an enemy Samus might fight.
Absolutely loved this video! Very clear on what you are doing and why, good music and voice over, cool project, it's got it all. Super high quality, keep it up!
Thank you so much. =)
This looks so cool ! Well done, it's an amazing job that you've done here !
shifts like the one in your failed print happen when the belts skip a notch. i think that usually happens when they arent tight enough
Thanks, I'll check the belt tightness.
It also happens when you go to the very edge and your printer runs into the side. It throws the whole print off in one axis.
@@punishedprops I can't find the rotary tool you used - you linked to the Dremel 4000 (which I have already) but the one you used is like a weird handheld version and it looks battery powered!
Brittany you are Samus no one can convince me otherwise. Also--awesome printer! The "weee" at 11:36 while using your rotary tool killed me 🤣
edit: BILL KILLED ANOTHER DREMMEL. MURDERRRRRRR.
Ohhhh SNAP. My secret it out...
Punished Props Academy why did you cut your hair and dye it brown? No complaints on the brown, Samus, but why cut it?
We killed their dremel 2 seconds. Nice, they turn up grab the equipment and brutally murder it in cold electronic rage! * Crowd forms outside the lair with led torches and EVA foam pitchforks chanting for a Styrofoam head on a platter *.
That "weee" Part. Me Too
Its was 11:40
That was a amazing build :). Thank you Brit for explaining each step nicely and clearly.
You’re welcome!
wow that visor technique is awesome, and the rest of the helmet too! Amazing work!
Brittany - Great project! Please consider working over a tarp or dropcloth to collect dust when sanding outside. The fine plastic, epoxy, and paint particulate can easily be washed into and contaminate your nearby aquatic environments by rain and other runoff
Thank you for the advice, we’ll use a tarp in the future.
10:41 that smiley face :D
Nice catch :D
I've watched this video at least 20 times because the techniques are so dang helpful.
I especially appreciate the explanation and use of the epoxies for creating sturdier layering.
That's wonderful! We're so glad you find it helpful!
Great choice of material and treatment for the visor. It complements all the hard work on that helmet perfectly.
bill is always killing other peoples dremels
You're right, this is the second one!
FOR THE ALLIANCE!
Royal Licht for the Horde!
😜
For the Alliance!
You sure had a great knowledge and command of all the materials and sprays needed to make the helmet!! Great work!!
Knowledge, creativity, resources and hard work. Nicely done!
She used Fusion on Samus's helmet. If you get my reference, you get a cookie.
*proceeds to eat cookie*
Zortax - expensive, not very good and can ruin a lot of material over very long print times. Got it.
The Zortrax m200 is actually one of the best consumer grade 3d printers available . Its print quality is ridiculously awesome compared to every other printer . Unfortunately it's also very expensive and so is its material . If I had the money I would get one .
I'm curious as to who their target audience is. I'd probably have less problems with a 3D printer from china at the fraction of the price.
i own 5 m200s, they are by far 1 of my best printers but they can be princesses, i own about 30 printers in total though and have tested out a ton more
This was an awesome make! You guys continue to put out great videos and think of different techniques I would never have thought of, haha. Putting tint in the XTC was genius!
This is absolutely insane in the bet way possible! Keep up the good work!!
FOR THE HORDE
FOR THE ALLIANCE
I love the fact that she give safety info while showing her work! Great video
This is amazing! over the summer, I'm going to be working on a complete gundam costume for myself, so all of your videos have been a massive help for preparation!
Oh wow, a Gundam costume sounds super fun! Good luck!
Your skills and patience are amazing
OMG! The result is so satisfying! It's really amazing. Love it.
I love the effect on the visor ,great video-keep up the good work.
So Hyped for Metroid Prime 4!
I love your problem-solving skills with the prints. Half the battle of owning a 3D printer is making the best of things.
The helmet was far and away the best part of the costume. Awesome work!
This video is so great and I actually got shivers with how it looks in the end! Thank you for posting! :D
We're so glad you liked it!
Wow! That turned out amazing! Great Job!
Woah epic! Stunning presentation and craft, absolutely love your Samus helmet.
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic build and great narration of the process
Thank you so much!
That's absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks so much for taking the time to show us this build :)
You're welcome.
You are insane(ly talented), this helmet is a piece of art.
Awesome build, Brit. Keep on making!
This was really enjoyable to watch! Great work
By far best Samus helmet I've ever seen! Congrats to all of those involved. Also PED suit FTW!
Nice job, great attention to detail.
Congratulations, it was too beautiful! Nice job!
Nice project ! Looks incredible !
this video was a work of art in itself.. helmet looked great, and the voice over.. man, it was like the most engagement training video I've ever seen. It had all of the safety warnings without sounding annoying about it, and a lot of things that made me go "oh yeah, i should have known that, but I wasn't thinking about it". Thank you!
You're most welcome!
One of the coolest looking helmets i've ever seen! Wow! Fantastic job! :D
Thank you!
That came out Gorgeous ! Well done
Brilliant, I am in love! opens up a lot of ideas for me with printing
That turned out way too cool!
Great job Brit!! It looks really awesome!!
Thanks so much!
That looks incredible!
Bro that full costume is insane!!!
I'm excited. nice work. I especially like the persistent approach when grinding
Loved the step by step video. Learned a lot, subscribed!
such elegant hands!!! great vid!
Unbelievably awesome!!!! Great mask build, thanks for the most excellent content!
Holy Moly...you are a total perfectionist. Thumbs Up and thx for explaining everything in such detail. ;)
So happy to help!
Such a Fantastic video, I hope you never take it down, that way it can help other people as much as it has helped me.
After seven months of studying and applying the techniques in this video to armor crafting, I'm now helping people with their armor and the money I'm making has transformed my life! I even received a promotion at my career job where I'm the majordomo for 3d printing and finishing prototypes.
That's fantastic! We're so glad you found our content helpful!
That is superb, one of the best cosplay helmets I’ve ever seen.
that came out totally sick, love the acrylic tricks!
Thanks so much!
Wow! Amazing! Great job!
Awesome job on the paint finish Brit 👍 I used to prime and sand MDF all day long at my old job, trying to make it look perfect. So I know just how much time and effort you put in to this 😄
Awesome! Enjoyed watching this video.
This was an amazing tutorial, thank you so much, Brittany!!!! I was super impressed by the visor trick with alcohol and a thin coating of the silver paint. It turned out AMAZING in the final photographs of the completed costume! You guys (Bill helped with the visor~) did an amazing job!!
Thank you! We're glad you liked the build! :)
do you have any idea how well the silver coating would block light from inside? For instance if you wanted to mount EL wire or LEDs to armor and then add a silvered, colored dome on top, could you still see the glow?
Wow. Amazing job, not just the helmet but the video too
very very cool, wonderful narration!
Incredible work! As a huge metroid fan I must say I am really impressed with both the helmet and the cosplay!
Thanks very much!
the process was very awesome, so many materials, that helmet is awesome!!!! thanks for share!!!!
For impeccable artwork every detail is important! Congratulations. Great job. ;-)
One of your best videos to date! Great work!
Thank you Bill!
Very good repair work. The mark of a good maker is how well they can do repairs.
Definitely subbing this is amazingly detailed and narrated
Why thank you!
A lot of work, but you are badass for making that helmet. Great work!
That is amazing. Simply stunning.
My god... That printer is ginormous. :O Great job as always! Jeez, all that sanding, lol...
Just great work here hats off to you this is beautiful well built and a pice if art to be proud of! All the best!
This is real sweet! Can't wait to see what the next big build is :D
That was bananas , mad props!
VERY COOL VIDEO! and GREAT work
